I don't know but I found this. I fell down a rabbit hole about blood and stuff on YY chromosomes popped up about Hemophiliacs. I remembered Q asked about families displaying the Y. Dr. Chantal Rothschild, Director, WORLD FEDERATION OF HEMOPHILIA https://www.wfh.org/en/page.aspx?pid=849 Country: France City: Paris IHTC: Paris Haemophilia Centre (Necker (N) and Kremlin Bicetre (KB) Hospitals) The Paris International Hemophilia Training Centre is a two-site Hemophilia Treatment Centre (HTC). Each site has a comprehensive care program for patients with hemophilia and bleeding disorders. Paris HTC follows more than one thousand hemophilia patients (severe hemophilia, mild/moderate hemophilia, inhibitors) and patients with other congenital bleeding disorders (hemorrhagic disease from coagulation or platelet disorder). The fellows from the World Federation of Hemophilia are trained in any of/or all of these sites, depending on their requests for specific training.

Is it a family condition?

Hemophilia is treated at specialized centers in EU and the US (and Canada/Aus/NZ). For severe disease, or patients that bleed a lot (moderate or mild), patient/therapy are tracked closely, if possible. Therapy is very expensive. Adequately treated, a patient will exceed lifetime $ caps, and become an insurance ‘carve out’ or dependent on government $.

Nothing in the paragraph is unusual. Dr. Rothschild I recall as a leader in the field.
